I used the diesel parts, but the gas parts could be used just as easily, as
long as you bend the tie rod and move the battery. You take the manifold
turbo (wastegate if not internal) downpipe, the oil lines need not be
fabricated, just use the stock turbo feed and return lines. Add intercooler
and you're done.
Mine cost me about 400 bucks, though a lot of that was messing around with
different parts. If I did it again I could get it done for under $200.
